Czech yourself before you wreck yourself; Budik scores pair to beat RD
Prince Albert Raiders defenceman Vojtech Budik came to play on Friday in Red Deer.
Budik scored the Raiders’ first two goals and assisted on the third—all in the first period—which led the Raiders to a 5-1 victory over the Rebels.
Budik, the third-year import defenceman from the Czech Republic, also scored in the Raiders’ last game, the 4-3 defeat to the Regina Pats on Wednesday. That gives him three goals and four points in his last two contests after scoring just one in all of last season.
“He’s shooting the puck, that’s one thing Buds can do. He’s on that spot on the power play for that reason,” Raiders associate coach Dave Manson said. “Since he’s come back from the World Juniors, he’s been outstanding for us. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him in his full tenure as a Prince Albert Raider. I’m very happy for him that he’s getting the success he deserves.”
